Canon MK3000 & MK5000
Cable ID Printers
Portable thermal transfer printers for professional cable, wire, tube and terminal marking. Print on PVC tube, heat shrink, label tape and plates — fast, PC-connected, and field-ready. Supplied with full consumables across the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and wider GCC.
Product Overview
What They Are
The Canon MK3000 and MK5000 are portable thermal transfer cable ID printers used to mark wires, cables, tubes, terminals, and equipment. They print permanent, professional identification directly onto PVC and heat shrink tube, label tape, flat tube, and (MK5000) plastic plates — replacing hand-written or pre-printed markers with fast, accurate, on-demand printing.
Who Uses Them
Electrical contractors, control panel and switchgear builders, MEP contractors, instrumentation engineers, and maintenance teams across the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Oman. Essential in panel-building workshops and on construction sites where cable and terminal identification is a project requirement for handover and maintenance.
Where They Are Used
Control panel and switchgear manufacturing, MEP fit-out on commercial and industrial projects, oil & gas instrumentation, data centre cabling, power distribution, and marine/offshore electrical work across the GCC — from Dubai and Abu Dhabi to Doha, Riyadh, Dammam, Kuwait City and Muscat.

Key Features & Benefits
Field Mobility — Dual Power
Built-in handle for portability plus dual power options — AC adaptor or optional AA rechargeable batteries. A full charge produces up to 1,000 prints, so the printer works on-site where there's no mains power. Ideal for cable marking on construction sites across the GCC.
Print from PC — CSV Support
USB PC connectivity with the bundled PC Connection Kit lets you manage large marking datasets on a laptop and print directly. CSV file support means marking schedules from panel design software import straight into the printer — a major productivity gain on large projects.
Distributed Printing (MK5000)
The MK5000 can send a single large print job to multiple MK5000 printers simultaneously from one PC — dramatically cutting the total time to produce thousands of markers. Essential for high-volume switchgear and panel-building operations.
Automatic Full/Half Cut
Selectable automatic full-cut and half-cut with adjustable cutting speed and depth. The robust cutter handles tube up to 10 mm diameter — and on the MK5000, thicker plastic plate strips — eliminating tedious manual cutting after printing.
Media Versatility
Print on PVC tube, heat shrink tube, flat tube, label tape (white/yellow/silver), wrap-around tape, and — on the MK5000 — plastic plates. One printer covers wire marking, terminal marking, and equipment labelling across an entire project.
Long 150 m Ribbon — Low Running Cost
The 150 m ink ribbon reduces operating cost per print and minimises interruptions during long print runs. Combined with locally stocked consumables across UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, total cost of ownership stays low.
